Abstract

Plant growth hormones are chemicals that, in small amounts promote growth, development, and differentiation of cells and tissues. It plays a vital role in guava production and helps in the induction of flowering, fruiting buds development, fruit set, fruit thinning, fruit elongation, premature fruit drop prevention, and inhibiting the ripening process. An investigation was conducted to study the efficacy of chemicals on the quality parameters of guava in the Experimental Laboratory, Department of Botany, B. R. A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. A total of 6 (six) treatments with four replications and two seasons (rainy and winter) were laid out in a Randomized Block Design.
